I need to get Okidata Mircoline Turbo 390 24-pin dot matrix printer w/Centronics interface connected to and functioning with PowerMac G3 (B&W) running OS 9.1. Ultimate goal is to print labels from FileMaker Pro.
Old environment: Crashed Mac was running OS8.x and used Infowave PowerPrint connected to OKI printer via built-in 25-pin Mac port to Centronics w/standard cable.
Trying to use Infowave PowerPrint and their supplied USB --> Centronics cable to connect OKI printer, as G3 has no 25-pin port.
When attempting to activate print driver via Chooser, the USB printer is not available.
For what it's worth, we can see the OKI printer in the USB Print Sharing contol panel. Also, the Apple System profiler sees USB cable and Infowave driver, but not the printer. Thanks in advance for any help... Jim/
